When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, independent sourcing support is available to University of Tampa, The students. The school makes every approval decision, while accreditation confirms only a baccalaureate nursing degree.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Tampa, The; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The accreditation fact for University of Tampa, The comes from CCNE and was verified on July 21, 2026. Its scope is degree accreditation. The source does not prove a particular pathway, course format, field requirement, student proposal process, review timeline, or candidate standard.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, placement forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program whether it coordinates the experience or explicitly permits the student to propose a person or site.
For a confirmed prelicensure pathway, the normal starting point is the program's coordinated clinical-placement process. Students should not bypass assigned rotations or contact sites independently unless University of Tampa, The expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
An RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure field experience may apply baccalaureate competencies in a community, population, education, leadership, quality, or coordination setting. Use that framework only after University of Tampa, The confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
Site fit follows the confirmed course objective. Community clinics, public-health services, school or employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofit programs, care coordination, quality, and population-health teams can be considered when allowed. An experienced RN or another relevant professional may fit, but the school must approve the person's role and credentials.
Do not estimate a student's requirement from the BSN label. There is no universal clinical or field-experience total, and required hours vary across states, programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use University of Tampa, The's current documents and placement guidance to confirm both the amount and purpose of the experience.
Use the BSN hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful brief records the confirmed requirement, its learning purpose, the acceptable setting, the supervision method, and whether the program coordinates placement or permits a proposal.
Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from University of Tampa, The's Tampa address. The program may apply state, site, licensure, affiliation, or delivery rules that accreditation does not show. Every proposed setting still needs program approval.
The Florida BSN field-experience guide describes the wider planning landscape. Use it to understand possible settings, not to bypass the program's pathway, authorization, affiliation, credential, or approval requirements.
An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the work would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms requested. University of Tampa, The may separately require agreements, compliance checks, or other review steps.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact baccalaureate pathway and course; whether the program coordinates placement or permits a student proposal; the approved requirement and dates; eligible state and setting; candidate credentials; course objectives; conflicts; affiliation and compliance process; school and site forms; and submission deadline.
If the confirmed course allows a student-proposed person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how screening supports, but never replaces, program review.
